How the Oscar Winners Thanked

For Forest Whitaker, 45 years old, winning the Oscar has been a dream coming true. On stage, Whitaker has said that “It wasn’t my reality to think I would be acting in movies – so receiving this honour tonight tells me it is possible”. “[…] when I first started acting, it was because of my desire to connect to everyone, to that thing inside of each of us, that light that I believe exists in all of us. Acting, for me, is believing in that connection, and it’s a connection so strong, and it’s a connection so deep, that we feel it, and through our combined belief we can create a new reality.” “The Last King of Scotland” leading actor has added. Then he has thanked the people of Uganda for their help.
Dame Helen Mirren, who has won the Best Leading Actress Oscar for her role in “The Queen”, has simply said on stage: “All kids love to get gold stars, and this is the biggest and the best gold star that I have ever had.” A Buckingham Palace spokesperson has said that it is sure thing “that the Queen will be pleased” by Mirren’s victory, specially because this Oscar has added to other important awards like the Golden Globe, the BAFTA award and the Screen Actors Guild prize. Mirren has said when receiving the prize: “For 50 years and more, Elizabeth Windsor has maintained her dignity, her sense of duty and her hairstyle. If it wasn’t for her, I most certainly wouldn’t be here - ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Queen.”
